Almost a year and I feel that so much has been accomplished and yet there is so much to await in the future. The best part is that he is still happily with me. Through hardships, sorrows, and sleepless nights to waking up with teary eyes, today I feel this connection growing even stronger. I remember memories of the past that started something beautiful today. Although it was at times rough, I didn't know that he was that persistent and careful. Remembering times he left messages and antics of his drove me crazy, he couldn't get off mind, literally. The smile I remember most, I know that smile is very much imprinted in my heart, it will never go away. His gazing eyes that I never noticed then, his laugh that is a happily intoxicating thing, and his outwardly kindness. (I'm very lucky, this I know). The roses, the gifts, the small talk, it all succeeded accordingly. He seized that moment and he should be glad of it. Today, I love everything he does, even the things I don't notice. From the day I saw this person and succumbed to his arms and raised that white flag and surrendered, giving up on not liking him but to give in to really liking him to finding out that he is my love, my true love. It wasn't easy but what is true love called without undergoing hardships? I take every moment as if I were to see him the last time. I opened my own heart especially wide for him that I will continually know him so well from his behavior to his actions. I love seeing him when he closes his eyes for a few seconds and I stare at him lovingly and every time I want to cry because in my eyes he is like a rare gem that gives happiness for a long long time and if you are lucky you will find yourself incandescently happy (gladly I was very lucky). And I forever want to be incandescently happily, wholeheartedly in love with him (all day, everyday). I never knew that a true love would exist in a world where such a thing is a like myth and that one who has it is blessed and also envied by others. I'm glad my true love is perfect the way he is because I accepted him out of anyone else. I can't wait to love him everyday and care for him, I know already he will do the same for me. My one true love, my one and only, my Senpai, my Gilleo, my never-wilting Rose.
